He just happened to be heading there to meet newspaper reporter Joe Burch, hoping to get some info on Jacobs’ mysterious bout of acromegaly. She’s arrived in town at the behest of Deemer and Jacobs, and Mark offers her a ride out to his home. The lab is in ruins, equipment and experiments destroyed… except for that BIG-ASS spider, who’s escaped into the desert night!Įnter hot graduate student Stephanie “Steve” Clayton, biology major. They tussle, and the lab equipment bursts into flames! Creepy dude injects Deemer with a serum, then drops dead. A creepy dude looking similar to Jacobs enters the lab and attacks Deemer. Deemer returns to his laboratory far from town limits, and we glimpse the fruits of his labor: a giant rat, giant rabbit, and giant guinea pig locked in cages, as well as one BIG-ASS tarantula in a glass cage. Deemer claims the condition came on suddenly four days ago, and he was helpless to aid his dear, deceased friend. Gerald Deemer comes to the morgue and identifies the body as indeed Jacobs, “a friend for thirty years”. Mark thinks this is impossible, for the corpse has died from acute acromegaly, a disease of the pituitary glands causing gigantism and enlarged organs which takes years to produce the state the body’s in.

Mark gets a call from Sheriff Jack Andrews to inspect the body, assumed to be scientist Dr. Mark Hastings, who’s “just a country doctor” in the aptly named desert town of Desert Rock. He drops in his tracks, then the title appears in big, bold letters: TARANTULA! The credits roll, and we meet Dr. But I’m not gonna do that instead I’ll look at the positives in this still entertaining and fun “Big Bug” movie (okay, maybe I’ll pick at it a little!).Ī pre-credits scene shows a deformed looking man in pajamas stumbling across the desert, buzzards circling over his head. Watching it again through my so-called “grown-up” eyes, I could sit here and pick at some gaps in logic and bad dialog. TARANTULA is a movie that used to scare the bejeezus out of me as a kid, and helped warp my fragile little mind.
